Hartsville Train Depot - Hartsville, Tennessee

The Hartsville Depot is located on the west side of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad at Mile 179 in Hartsville on Broadway Street. The 11.38 mile line from Rogana to Hartsville, at which the depot is located, was constructed in the years from June 1890 to January 1892 by the Middle & East Tennessee Central Railway and has operated under a number of ownership's since that time. The line changed hands several times before the depot was built in 1898 during the ownership of C. Adolph Lowe and leased to the Chesapeake & Nashville Railway Company. In 1905, the property was purchased from Lowe by W.A. Northcutt, who in 1906, conveyed the property to the Gallatin & Scottsville Railway, which was organized by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company. The last regular passenger train ran over the line in 1953 and freight service was provided until several years ago when the line closed.

In 1977, the L&N Railroad Company sold the depot building to the City of Hartsville, which has since entered into an agreement with the Hartsville Department of Recreation to donate the use of the building to the Department for its offices, a recreation and cultural arts center, and a museum. Except for minor alterations, the Hartsville Depot remains in its original condition.

The Hartsville Depot remains practically unaltered in its original condition as a significant tangible reminder of bygone days when the railroad played such an important role in the community's development, and as a good example of the type of architecture employed in railroad depot building in rural small towns in Tennessee. Furthermore, it serves as an excellent model of adaptively reusing historic buildings.

All information included above was taken directly from the original documents submitted to the United States Department of the Interior for consideration for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. These can be seen here:

It was listed on July 3rd, 1980.

Image was taken during my trek to photograph all 95 county courthouses across my home state of Tennessee...now revisiting in order that the courthouses were photographed!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
